Charlotte Corday stabbing Marat on a settee. Charlotte Corday (July 27, 1768 - July 17, 1793) was a figure of the French Revolution. In 1793, she was guillotined for the assassination of Jacobin leader Jean-Paul Marat. She believed that Marat was threatening the Republic, and that his death would end violence throughout the nation. She went to Marat's home on the evening of July 13th, claiming to have knowledge of a planned Girondist uprising in Caen. Marat admitted her. At the time, he conducted most of his affairs from a bathtub because of a debilitating skin condition. He wrote down the names of the Girondists that she gave to him, then she pulled out the knife and plunged it into his chest, piercing his lung, aorta and left ventricle, and died almost instantly. At her trial, when Corday testified that she had carried out the assassination alone, saying, "I killed one man to save 100,000." After her decapitation, Jacobin leaders had her body autopsied immediately after her death to see if she was a virgin. They believed there was a man sharing her bed and the assassination plans. To their dismay, she was found to be virgo intacta (a virgin). She was 24 years old. Stipple engraving by Nicholas Schiavonetti after Domenico Pellegrini, 1793.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Charlotte Corday apuñala a Marat en un sofá. Charlotte Corday (27 de julio de 1768 - 17 de julio de 1793) fue una figura de la Revolución Francesa. En 1793, fue guillotinada por el asesinato del líder jacobino Jean-Paul Marat. Creía que Marat estaba amenazando a la República y que su muerte pondría fin a la violencia en todo el país. Fue a la casa de Marat la noche del 13 de julio, afirmando tener conocimiento de un levantamiento girondino planeado en Caen. Marat la admitió. En ese momento, llevaba a cabo la mayoría de sus asuntos desde una bañera debido a una afección cutánea debilitante. Anotó los nombres de los girondinos que ella le dio, luego sacó el cuchillo y se lo clavó en el pecho, atravesándole el pulmón, la aorta y el ventrículo izquierdo, y murió casi instantáneamente. En el juicio, Corday testificó que había llevado a cabo el asesinato sola y dijo: "Maté a un hombre para salvar a 100.000". Tras su decapitación, los líderes jacobinos hicieron que se le practicara una autopsia al cuerpo inmediatamente después de su muerte para comprobar si era virgen. Creían que había un hombre compartiendo su cama y los planes de asesinato. Para su consternación, se descubrió que era virgo intacta (virgen). Tenía 24 años. Grabado al puntillismo de Nicholas Schiavonetti según Domenico Pellegrini, 1793
